Rear air suspension cycling too much??

[3 Wheel Addict]

I haven't noticed this before today but riding around town you can hear it every so often (brrrr) then a few miles later (brrrr) stop at a light (brrrr) and pulling into my driveway (brrrr - brrrr) What's up with that?

Little checking..!!

if all is constant you may need to have them check for any air leaks. It will adjust to level and load changes and sudden temp changes.. Good luck..!! :thumbup:

Mine adjusts all the time. Not just being pumped back up but letting air out. When I stop you can feel the rear end go up and down until it reaches the set height again.

When you stop or stand on the pegs, the rear ends rises and the Spyder may adjust. When you accelerate the rear end lowers and the Spyder may adjust. Adding a passenger or cargo, shifting your weight, going hard into a turn...anything that affects the ride height can cause adjustments. Unless the Spyder is repeatedly adjusting under steady state conditions, it is normal. If it keeps adjusting while you're stopped, after a series of brief adjustments, it could have a leak. Otherwise it is probably fine. Before going much further check the Schrader valve under the seat. Loose valve cores are a common source of leaks.

Thanks! That's exactly what a dealer told me to check. I unscrewed the cap pushed it a couple of times and put the cap back on tight and it don't seem to be cycling so much now, all is good.
